Blue Pappi Celebrates First Music Video To Hit One Million YouTube Views With “Imali Entsha G-Mix” Featuring Young Stunna

Blue Pappi’s music video for “Imali Entsha (G-Mix)”, featuring Young Stunna, has passed one million views on YouTube. It is the first of his music videos to reach that figure on the platform.

Artist marks the milestone#

The rapper marked the achievement on social media with a short message: “First M on YT. Ngyabonga kakhulu.” He also thanked Young Stunna, Opticalilusion and Teekaybeatz for their work on the project.

About the song#

“Imali Entsha (G-Mix)” was released on February 20, 2026, as a collaboration between Blue Pappi and Young Stunna. The track revisits Blue Pappi’s earlier song “Imali Entsha” and adds Young Stunna as a second voice, pairing Blue Pappi’s rap delivery with Young Stunna’s melodic approach.

The release followed Blue Pappi’s January release of the original “Imali Entsha” and came shortly after “uThando Olufudumele”. The G-Mix keeps the original’s focus on money, ambition and personal progress.

Music video and credits#

The official music video premiered on March 11, 2026, and features both artists, along with Otis Fresco and Only1.Timooo. The production credits list:

  • Directing, shooting and editing: Opticalilusion, who also handled the visual effects and colour grading
  • Screenplay: Sandile Msimango
  • Wardrobe styling and sourcing: Ncaza Radical and Msimango

The video’s creative credits also recognise contributors in styling, make-up, artwork and set production.

Milestone recorded#

The video continues to attract viewers months after its premiere, with the one-million-view mark recorded during November 2026. The milestone adds to the reach of the collaboration, and Blue Pappi has thanked the viewers who helped build its audience.
